The Picky Eater's Recovery Book: Overcoming Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder
by Kendra R Becker, Jennifer J Thomas, Kamryn T Eddy
Thank you to Netgalley and Cambridge University Press for providing me with an ARC of The Picky Eater's Recovery Book: Overcoming Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder.
This self-help book provides some nice information about Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and a lot of tips and worksheets to overcome it. I do not have ARFID myself so I cannot judge how effective these tips and worksheets are. However, I do think that for individuals with ARFID, especially adults, this book might be a great help. A lot of literature and self-help books surrounding ARFID and picky eaters are focused on children so it's nice that the authors chose to create a self-help book for adults with ARFID who face different challenges, for example, difficult social situations surrounding food (eating in a restaurant, on a date or with family).
Personally, I learnt a lot about ARFID in the first couple of chapters. I was not familiar with this eating disorder at all so I am glad that I got to learn about it. These chapters might be nice to give to loved ones so they can understand the person with ARFID better.
